Efforts OF the division master to detect the

Miller and Stevens noticed that two

owed them and became convinced that
everything was not right, and took them
INTO custody. Subsequently they learned
tnat the brakes were implicated in the
robberies, and they were arrested Mrs.
Drake was charged with receiving stolen
goods. After the arrest the houses of the
prisoners were searched and large
amount of the goods stolen from the cars
recovered. The prisoners at first stoutly
denied that they had anything to do with
the robberies, but when confronted with
the stolen goods they bscame sullen and
silent. They were given q hearing yes
terday before Magistrate Smith, and held
Tor further hearing on Tuesday next.
Chief Wood says there are o number of
other employees implicated in the robber-
les, but most of them have fled the city.
He expects to capture several others be-
fore Tuesday.
